December

December was a great month for Jon and I. We can't believe how fast the year went by. We love the Christmas Season and enjoyed spending time with our friends and family.

We had our annual white elephant party at our house. It was a blast and there were several gifts that made a come back and many more new ones. We're pretty sure that most of the gifts were left behind as we continue to find them hidden throughout our house and garage!





Maverick even joined in on the festivities... whether he liked it or not!



We were able to make it up to Mammoth one weekend for the "Night of Lights." It was an incredible fireworks show at Canyon lodge. It was well worth it, we had a blast. Here's us with some friends at the top of the mountain.



Jon and I enjoyed Christmas Eve morning to ourselves and then we headed up to Big Bear for Christmas with Jon's family.



We had a great time in the snow in Big Bear. They just had a great storm come through that left all kinds of snow to play with. We built an incredible sled run and all had fun playing on it. I didn't manage to get any pictures of us going down it. I guess I was having to much fun myself!


Building the run and playing with snowshoes in the backyard.

Maverick LOVES the snow!



I totally slacked on getting pictures throughout the month and obviously fell way behind. Hopefully I'll do better in the new year!

November Catch Up

I know December is already almost over, but it was a very busy few months for Jon and I. So here's a few things from November.

When November comes around, we really start to get the itch for snowboarding. So we had a snowboard tuning / waxing party with some friends in our garage one night.



Jon and Andy got to do some good riding. Here's a couple of them riding a log on Joplin out on Saddleback mountain.





We were able to get a few hikes in at Peter's Canyon, that made Maverick a happy dog!



Thanksgiving was spent with the Joy / Spykerman family in Big Bear. It was a great time as usual. It's always great to catch up with family. And there was plenty of entertainment with the dogs and kids running around.

It was raining on our way up, which turned into snow when we got to Big Bear. We saw this amazing rainbow on our drive.



Out on a walk.







The best dogs, Maverick & Dooley!



Thanksgiving dinner was fantastic as usual.



On the last day, we took a off road jeep tour. It was a lot of fun. Here's the group that went looking out over the Antelope Valley.



November was definitely a busy month for us with work, but we were thankful to be able to have some nice times with friends and family to break up the stresses of orders and customers!

More to come soon.
